Amazon MGM Studios is preparing for the premiere of the science fiction film “Mercy,” directed by Timur Bekmambetov. The film's release is scheduled for January 23, and the project is already attracting the attention of viewers thanks to its stellar cast and relevant topics related to artificial intelligence.

The plot of the film takes viewers to the near future, where the judicial system has undergone major changes, writes xrust. Key decisions are now made by advanced artificial intelligence, capable of analyzing facts and human behavior with high accuracy. It is precisely such a digital judge that the main character of the story faces.

At the center of the story is a detective played by Chris Pratt. He's accused of murdering his wife and now has just 90 minutes to prove his innocence. The verdict must be passed by an artificial intelligence judge played by Rebecca Ferguson. What makes the situation especially dramatic is the fact that in the past it was Pratt’s character who supported the introduction of this technology into the justice system.

The film «Mercy» combines elements of science fiction, thriller and courtroom drama. As events unfold, viewers will watch as the protagonist tries to convince the machine that he is right, while simultaneously dealing with memories, conflicting evidence, and limited time. Each new episode brings the final decision closer, which cannot be appealed.

In addition to Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson, the film stars Annabelle Wallis, Kylie Rogers, Kali Reis, Chris Sullivan, Kenneth Choi, Rafi Gavron and Jeff Pierre. The ensemble cast creates a multi-layered narrative in which supporting characters play important roles in uncovering the details of the case.

The creators promise a dynamic plot, tense atmosphere and visual solutions characteristic of the works of Timur Bekmambetov.
